Hi Joaquin, you are eligible if you are currently a high school student residing in the Los Angeles area. Check out some of the other responses for more details. There may be additional information there that can answer other questions you have. If not, feel free to contact us at applications@knockstudy.org.

Thanks for the question David. Due to the limited size of the program, Knockstudy is open only to high school students at the moment. However, we are trying to implement some sort of online portion to teach those that do not live in Los Angeles or are no longer in high school. Hope this helps. -DL

Definitely – we start from the very basic concepts behind a beat, i.e., how to count music, layers of a song (bass line, drums, melody), the different components (verse, chorus, bridge), etc. We usually first teach the students about the equipment, and then making their own beats. Hope that helps. -DL

Hi Andrew, we typically give preference to students that live in the Los Angeles area. Our partner in this program, the Bresee Community Center, aims to serve the nearby community first (as do we). However, in the past, we have had students from other areas attend. Ultimately, it will come down to availability and fit, so I do encourage you to apply. Hope that helps. -DL

Hi Monica, we understand your disappointment. Please note, however that we are currently assigning resources to record the Knockstudy classes and plan on making them available on YouTube to the general public. We plan on announcing the details in the next two weeks or so. -DL

Hi JJ, yes, you are eligible. Just to clarify my earlier response regarding location–we have a preference for students living in the Los Angeles area, but this is NOT a requirement. In other words, we give preference to those students who live in LA, but we accept students from other cities as well. We do this because our priority is to first serve the community we are in. Additionally, attendance is extremely important, and living outside of Los Angeles can pose challenging with the traffic/commute.
